THE GATHERING STORM – PART VIII

ANTIFA & REVOLUTION

We see ANTIFA at work all the time. But to many it is a group cloaked in mystery. What exactly do they want? What are its origins? Why is there violence winked at by many of the authorities? Understanding this group, where they come from and will shed an interesting light on just where we may be headed in the new future.

Let’s start with the story of a community college professor in Iowa, America’s heartland. Professor Jeff Kinzman couldn’t help himself when it came to posting on social media. When later questioned by a news team from KRCG in Cedar Rapids, Kinzman confirmed that he was indeed a member of ANTIFA. He had been flagged and was under possible investigation for a post which might be construed as a threat against President Trump. In addition, the team reported: “A search through Klinzman’s Facebook page shows over the years he has also made statements expressing his desire to ‘stop evangelical Christians’ where he included a poem that said, ‘Kill them all and bury them deep in the ground.’ Klinzman went on to explain, ‘It’s not pretty, and I’m not proud, but seeing what evangelical Christians are doing to this county and its people fills me with rage, and a desire to exact revenge.’” So, if they can be raised up in what the globalist-liberal-establishment calls ‘fly-over country,’ then just who are these people and what do they want. KRCG explains it this way. “Antifa is a group that has been behind several violent protests nationwide. Their name is short for Anti-Fascist and is a movement focused on physically fighting far-right and white supremacist groups.”[i] Well, that’s good as far as it goes, but there’s so much more to the story.

Flags of the coming revolution: Note the Marxist hammer & sickle

Let’s start with the bottom line: ANTIFA is a strongly pro-Communist movement that will not shrink at using violence to get their way. And their way is chaos, leading to systemic breakdown, leading to societal collapse, leading to the establishment of a New Order. They are seeking to make the US a socialist-communist entity, with all the state control with which that comes. By its name we understand that it is anti-Fascist; Fascism being embodied in the national socialist states of pre-WWII Italy and Germany. But look at that! Both Fascism and Communism are at their roots socialistic in nature. Writing for Canada Free Press, Ray DiLorenzo explains. “Antifa was and is primarily a global Communist movement using fascist tactics…breaking up meetings, rallies, destroying property, clubbing a few people, etc.” It is a movement related to Fascism. In Communist states, the government owns and controls all the means of production. Nothing moves – nothing is produced – without the approval of the authorities. In a Fascist economy, commercial, free enterprise survives but is rigorously controlled by the government. The ANTIFA movement grew up in Germany between the wars to oppose Hitler’s rising Nazi movement. In the end, the German dictator kicked the group out of Germany – and many of its operatives eventually ended up in America, where it germinated in the colleges and universities. [We see its affect today.] Di Lorenzo gives us the bottom line. “Fascism and Communism are not opposite ends of the spectrum, rather, they are first cousins on the left. Both are secular socialist with power being absolute with no opposition tolerated, especially from God. No natural rights, only that which they choose to dispense.”[ii]

There is almost nothing this group won’t do to usher in their revolution. In mid-August of 2019, ANTIFA was distributing a poster encouraging “false flag terrorism.” They were encouraging followers to impersonate conservatives and Trump supporters and then begin rioting to shift the blame to their targets.[iii] Of course, these fires are fueled and stoked by the sheer number of baseless charges by Leftists and Democrats, that conservatives are all racists and that ALL Trump supporters are White Supremacists by definition. Hollywood even got into the act when they produced a movie in which, according to The Hollywood Reporter, “the movie’s script features blue-state characters choosing to hunt red-state characters who expressed pro-life positions or were deemed racist.” Elsewhere, it was characterized as Liberal Elites hunting down Trump supporters.[iv] [As of this writing, and in the wake of recent mass shootings, the films release has been at least temporarily suspended.]

This has resulted in numerous acts of violence. Elijah Schaffer of The Blaze described some of the actions which was confirmed by accompanying videos. Here is one of his tweets. “BREKAING 🚨 ANTIFA chases conservative protestors through Portland streets They sprayed pepper spray, assaulted multiple victims including a young girl, tasered a teenager. Riot police on the scene, protestors on the ground cheered cops to jump off and kill themselves.” Susan Duclos of ANP describes more of what the video shows. The clip “captures video of disabled individuals lining up in their wheelchairs to defend police; Antifa attacking a couple during the rally; Antifa protestors harass & taunt badly injured older conservative couple who they earlier assaulted; An old man and woman (though cleverly defiant to left wing protestors) were senselessly beaten, sprayed with pepper spray, kicked in the head, stomped on, and had eggs smashed over them.”[v]

There is no overriding political theology other than the total and complete subjugation of their enemies. DiLorenzo again: “The immediate goal of Antifa and the Left is to create chaos with anarchy close behind. The Antifa website,itsgoingdown.org admits that Antifa members are either Marxists, Maoists or anarchists. They urge their followers to make the country ungovernable and to participate in mass insurrection and physical violence….anarchy.” Their immediate target is the takedown of President Trump. And in this they have garnered the support of what used to be the center-left Democrats who dominated the party for years. Now this is no longer so. AOC & her ‘Squad’ of freshman congresswomen, along with a smattering of true-left presidential candidates have pushed the middle of the party far leftward. Open borders, healthcare giveaways, universal income….it’s all been run up the flagpole. It’s gotten to the point where relative centrist Joe Biden is starting to sound more like Karl Marx than JFK. So, ANTIFA violence is often ignored by the politicians and even excused by the mainstream press. That’s good cover for the population that still gets its (fake) news from traditional sources like the networks, CNN or the New York Times. We’ll Ray DiLorenzo tie this all together. “There is no strong Fascist movement in America, but there is a strong Communist presence. Popular phrases such as social justice that Obama put into fashion are popular communist signals. The movement is now filled with every disenchanted dirt bag, with built-in Antifa Brown Shirts in attendance in case you’re not listening. This is no longer politics, but an attempt at a Communist/Socialist takeover of this country.”[vi]
